tsmith: I wouldn't be too awfully concerned about the rim. Chloride does it's damage mainly as a result of slow leaks that go on for years. I've had tractor rims last well over 40 years with chloride in them. Probably each and everyone of them had half dozen quick flats whereby all the chloride leaked out. Clean the rim up well, it will last a long time yet.
My Super A has an original rim on it, was filled with chloride until 1997. In contrast my 63 140 has both rims new. It was parked in a heated warehouse for 15 years with both valve stems leaking chloride.
I do agree with the others, the guy that filled those tires does have liability in this. That shouldn't happen within a month unless you punctured a tire. Also, I would never put chloride in a tube over 10 years old or unknown age. When I was running chloride in tires, I was wearing out tires every 5-10 years and never installed a new tire without a new tube. If I had a tractor tire with chloride and I knew it had been in there 10 years with tire still good, I'd roll stem to top, jack the tractor and change the screw in stem. Those old stems are the slow leakers that take a toll on rims.
